Leggie

ABSTRACT

The product is a blanket with a leg hole. The Leggie keeps people warm however someone can stick a leg out of an opening in the blanket to instantly help cool them down. A lot of people put a leg out of the blanket mid way through the night because they wake up and become hot, sticking one leg out seems to make the body a cooler temperature. The solution the leggie provides is that a person can fully remain under the blanket and all other body parts remain warm. When someone sticks their leg out using a traditional blanket their back is then uncovered, sometimes making them to cool. The Leggie fixes that. The person&#39;s leg is the only body part out with this blanket. The Leggie is designed for one person with a single hole opening and also duel hole openings for two people to share.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The preferred embodiment of material would be a plush fabric (FIG A),proto types made with plush. This material hides the seams well andmakes it look complete. This embodiment makes it comfortable, warm yetcool and light, cozy and soft. Plush it easy to care for, wash, durableand great for households with kids and animals.

The preferred embodiment on how it is made comes with measurements madewithin the proto type. Please use-drawing figures for the measurementsas followed.

FIG B—The opening for the leg hole embodies a 16-inch opening with a32-inch circumference. The fabric overlap covering the hole embodies a2-inch overlap; this is in case a person does not want the opening inuse at any given time. It then acts as a normal blanket with no airflowbecause of this design overlap of fabric. When being sewn this sectionis left open with 2 inches of fabric overlapped, which is represented bythe dotted lines in the drawing.

FIG C—Is the seam down the blanket. On the top of FIG B (the leg holeopening) the measurement is 20 inches down from the top of the blanket.On the bottom of FIG B the measurement continues 27 inches down to thebottom of the blanket. These measurements are subject to changedepending on the size of the blanket. These are the measurements used onall the proto types based off of a blanket length of 63 inches. Singlehole Leggie are typically a twin size blanket and the two hole Leggie istypically based off of a Queen size blanket. The size of blankets can bea variety of sizes based on what the manufacture would want but TheLeggie embodies and claims the hole for the leg.

Making The Leggie starts with measuring out the length and then sewingtwo pieces of fabric together having a 2-inch overlap. While sewing FIGC seam line FIG B leg hole is left open with the 2-inch overlap stillremaining. The plush fabric leaves the seams looking well hidden on thebackside of the fabric; a finish on the seam could be done if wanted.The extra fabric is cut off on FIG C backside seam and the fabric in FIGB remains for the fabric overlap.
